Installation and Configuration

1. Copy the files to your addons folder.

This step depends on exactly how your installation is configured, but you will want to place the blue_reminders_project module
that is
provided on download into an addons folder on your server. If you are not sure about what folders are considered addons folders then you can
look at your odoo configuration file.

You can place these files on your server multiple different ways. We recommend either SCP/SSH or FTP.

2. Restart your Odoo instance.

Whenever installing new applications, you will need to restart your Odoo instance. We highly recommend that you do not do this during your
standard hours of operations, and in a production environment. There is always a chance that modules can conflict, and you do not want to
take down your system for any amount of time like this.

Use the standard method that you would normally use to restart your Odoo instance. There are multiple different methods for this depending
on your setup but we typically see something like the following:

# Using a service script on Linux
sudo service odoo-server restart

# Using Docker and Docker-Compose
docker-compose restart

3. Install The Module.

Once you have restarted your instance, you can navigate to the Apps screen within your Odoo instance and install the Reminders
module. This will open up all of the feature for you to access.

That's it! Start using the new features!

Project Reminders

Installing

The module is installed through Odoo's App interface. It will automatically install Odoo dependencies not already installed, including
Blue Stingray's Reminders app.

To use Project Reminders, your instance of Odoo must be able to send email. Create a system property with a key of 'email.reminder.from'
with a value of who you want your reminder emails to appear from. You must have permissions on the email server to send as this user.

Security

After installation, all users have access to the Reminders application. If this is not what you want,
you should restrict access in the security settings. The objects involved are blue.reminder,
blue.reminder.day, and blue.reminder.trigger.

Usage

Once the Reminders application is installed, you will see a reminders button in the main application window. Clicking this will bring up the
Reminders list. With Project Reminders installed, though, you can access the Reminders from a tab when looking at an individual task. A
reminder created under a task will also be visiable from the main reminders button in the main application window.

A reminder can belong to one or more tasks, or no task at all. This means that to delete a reminder, it must be done from the Reminders
application. Deleting a reminder from a task only removes the link between the task and reminder.

From the Reminders documentation

Currently, the only type of reminder implemented is using email.

You can set the subject and the header. Adding users is done on the users tab. You user creating the reminder is added by default.

There are three type of Reminders:

Reminder is sent only once. This is the default.

Repeat forever. Change the Repeats to Daily, Weekly, or Monthly. Then choose a start date with no end date.

Repeat until an end date. Same as repeat forever, but provide an End Date.
